<div style="text-align: justify;">
Brazilian music, one of the greatest music of the world, has always been very popular in France. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In this article, I will introduce you some covers of Brazilian songs and rhythms by famous French artists. Some of them are classics in France, but few people know they are actually covers of brazilian songs! To write this article I used mainly a very interesting article,<span style="font-family: "arial,bold"; font-size: 11pt;"> <a href="http://www.blogger.com/goog_1682833569">A</a></span><a href="http://www.revues.msh-paris.fr/vernumpub/13-%20A-%20WITKOWSKI.pdf" target="_blank">riane Witowsky, <i>De la Matchiche à la lambada, présence de la musique populaire brésilienne en France, </i>
<span style="font-family: "timesnewroman,italic"; font-size: 10pt;">Cahiers du Brésil Contemporain, </span><span style="font-family: "timesnewroman"; font-size: 10pt;">1990, n°12
</span></a></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
One of the first Brazilian style to be famous in France is the <span style="font-style: italic;">maxixe</span>. It's a mix between tango, habanera, polka and afro-portuguese rhythms. Felix Mayol sings this new style emphasizing on its exotism and the dance and mixing it with other exotic musics which are not related to Brazil and even not a really maxixe song but a spanish paso-doble!</div>
<br />

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
During the 1930's, choro became popular after the venue of Pixinguinha and his Batutas in Paris. Django Reinhardt played Carinhoso, the most famous song of Pixinguinha and an anthem of Brazilian music. Ray Ventura et ses Collégiens played also played the choros <i>Apanhei-te Cavaquinho </i>(Ernesto Nazareth) and <i>Tico-Tico no fubá</i> (Zequinha de Abreu) which is still widely played in French metro today, mostly but Estearn-europe accordeonists!<br />
<br />
Then, some carnaval songs became popular often sung by singer who were seen as exotics. The famous Maurice Chevalier played the marchinha <i>Mamãe eu quero mamar</i>, translated as <i>La Choupetta. </i>Josephine Baker sung also many carnaval song<i>s.</i></div>
<br />
Carmen Miranda - Mamãe eu quero mamar<br />

<br />
In 1942, the early samba genius, Ataulfo Alves and Marió Lago released the samba <i>Ai que saudades da Amélia</i>,. Jean Sablon, the most important sung it as Amalia.<br />
<br />
<br />
One of the most successful cover of Brazilian song is undoubtly<i> Si tu vas à Rio</i>, released by Dario Moreno and Les Compagnons de la chanson. It is a very light and a bit annoying song, whereas the original is a deep and moving funeral tribute by Carvalinho and José Monteiro to Zaquia Jorge, a singer who died drown. <br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
At that time, in Brazil, samba-cançao, a slower, more lyrics driven samba played mostly by white middle class musicians and not by poor Blacks, were very popular in Brazil. A music actually quite close to French chanson.<br />
<br />
Jean Sablon, sung some of Dorival Caymmi songs, one of the greatest samba composer, famous for his songs about his native Bahia. <i>Peguei um Ita no Norte</i> became <i>Qui vivra verra</i>, and <i>Não tem solução</i> became <i>La Solution</i>.<br />

In 1959, French director Marcel Camus released the Movie Orfeu Negro, adaptation of a Brazilian play written by Vinicius de Morais and with some music by Tom Jobim. It would became a huge hit (Palme d'or in Cannes festival) and introduced Jobim and Vinicius to the world. It is, with the released of <i>Chega de Saudade</i> by Joao Gilberto, the birth of Bossa nova. French people became crazy of the rhytms and harmony of bossa nova and then "musica popular brasileira". <br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
It has been a long time, but I'm happy to present you the new volume of my home made compilations of French music. As usual, some old chanson, a swinging musette, some rock, a romantic yéyé hit, an underground rap by a very young artist, two covers of Brazilians songs, chansons by newcomers and many more !</div>
<br />
This time, one of the greatest singer of the new generation, Mathieu Boogaerts, is on the cover. <br />
<br />
Enjoy!<br />

They sing in English, but they are French. Sometimes they are signed on US or UK record labels and even the French don't know they are French.<br />
<br />
It is indeed very difficult to have an international appeal when your songs are not sung in English. Here's a selection of those nice acts, even some of them lack of personality with their electro-funk-rock. They were mostly released this year, some of those bands which where found in this <a href="http://musique.premiere.fr/Photos-Musique/Ces-Francais-qui-chantent-en-anglais-3257560">article</a>. </div>

There's are chances you know the song Feelings, but do you know the story behind it? From France to Turkey, from Brazil to the World.<br />
<br />
The song was composed by French Loulou Gasté and<span style="font-weight: bold;"> </span>Albert Simonin in 1956 under the Frenh name "Pour Toi" (for you). This song was sung by Dario Moreno, a Turkish singer who made his career in France, and remembered for his catchy songs, in chanson, operetta, or latin-american influenced rhythms.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;">Dario Moreno - Pour Toi (OST <span style="font-style: italic;">le feu aux poudres</span>, 1957)</span><br />
<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/xiMJD9m0jaI" width="420"></iframe><br />
<br />
20 years later, Morris Albert, a Brazilian musician, adapted the song with new lyrics in English. Without mentioning where the melody where from... It would cost him a lots of money when he lost his trial. The song became on of the biggest world hit in the history, selling millions.<br />
<br />

<br />
"Feelings" was covered by many artists, like Frank Sinatra, Caetano Veloso and also translated in French by Mike Brant. But the best is this live recording of Nina Simone, able to turn a cheesy tune into this beautiful and moving moment. 10 minutes of grace, much better than the original recordings of Pour toi/feelings!<br />

What's new in French music? Some suggestions.<br />
<br />
In chanson:<br />
Camille - Ilo veyou (<span style="font-style: italic;">Ilo Veyou</span>, 2011)<br />
<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/Qt_eQaMeNyk" width="560"></iframe><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Amusing and sensitive songs very well written. Oldelaf is the guy who wrote Le café.<br />
Oldelaf - Comme je peux (<span style="font-style: italic;">Le Monde est beau</span>, 2011)<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<iframe width="320" height="266" class="YOUTUBE-iframe-video" data-thumbnail-src="https://i.ytimg.com/vi/FgTQEv0_lXU/0.jpg" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/FgTQEv0_lXU?feature=player_embedded" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe></div>
<br />
<br />
Luce - J'me fume (<span style="font-style: italic;">Première phalange</span>, 2011)<br />
<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/_3b7ZthR2Xo" width="420"></iframe><br />
<br />
A French reggae hit:<br />
Danakyl - Quitter Paname (<span style="font-style: italic;">Dialogue de sourd</span>, 2011)<br />
<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/Ojq6J-veDxg" width="560"></iframe><br />
<br />
And two big hits:<br />
<br />
Booba, gave to French rap some of his masterpieces (Mauvais Oeil, Panthéon, Temps Mort). His new songs are not as good unfortunately, but still much better than most of French rap.<br />
Booba - Scarface (<span style="font-style: italic;">Autopsie vol 4</span>, 2011)<br />
<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/2b6CYe8HU2c" width="560"></iframe><br />
<br />
Not my kind of music, but one of the biggest 2011'shit. A mix between dancehall and varieté.<br />
Colonel Reyel - Aurélie<br />
